Country Interior Design Style

Country interior design style reflects the comfort and the lifestyle of living in the countryside. The main difference between the country interior design style and other interior design styles is the feeling of closeness to nature achieved by bringing outdoor nature elements to indoor spaces.

Here are some of the elements used in the country design style:

Natural materials are used in the country design style; such as wood, stone, brick, copper, and leather.

Antiques and collectable items such as furniture and accessories. You can find them in your grandma’s attic, antique shops, and flea markets.

Nature provides the color palette for the country design style. Colors used are soft, neutral, and warm.
